For Sale: Carlton Frame and 27" Rims.

For sale is this old Carlton frame that I planned on building up, but ended up getting a Holdsworth as well and completed that instead.

The Frame size 54cm seat tube, and 54cm top tube. Its 531 tubing, and built for 27" wheels originally. 126mm rear OLD. 100mm front OLD. The paintwork is ok, but there a fair few small nicks. Includes an old dura ace headset, which isn't great working order.
Forks are not the originals, but are 27" from a claud butler.
Stem is not included.

One other thing I noticed is a slight curve in top tube where it meets the steerer tube. I asked keith at Tour De Ville about this, and he thought it wasn't due to a front impact but maybe overheating during the build process? I checked all over and there's no cracks or ripple in the frame.

Anyway, looking for about £40. Pm Offer.

Also, a pair of 27" x 1 1/4 Weinmann Rims that where going on the Carlton.

Both are 36 hole, with dimpled braking surface that don't have much wear. Good condition.

I paid £33 for the rims with postage. So If you're in London you can collect for £28. Or I'll post them for the original £33.

I can also post the Carlton for an extra £15.

Cheers, Francis.

are the rims single wall, or, are they extruded like modern rims?

I think they're single walled, but will have to double check on monday as Im at another address this weekend.

hi im interested in the frame, would you post it, if so how much?

EDIT - how much does it weigh? (roughly)

Yeh I can post it. From the frames Ive bought before, it will probably cost £15 including packaging. Im not sure about the exact weight, maybe around 3-4kg? I can weigh it on monday.

So far though I have one other person interested in the frame though, so it might go to them first.

Bump before ebay. Rims are single wall after checking.

pm sent regarding the frame :)

Frame SOLD pending collection.

I know this is a for sale thread, sorry, but what is it with Carlton's and Sun's? Are they the same frames, the same manufacturers or completely different? I know some of the Carlton's are highly regarded, but what about the Sun's - not their Manxman, which is extraordinary but the more conventional road frames.

hey Frankie_J I have an old Carlton I'm fixing. Starting to think about decals. Do you know what year the one your selling is?
